1st Day of School

I can't believe it, Elizabeth, finally in Kindergarten, amazing! I just can't believe how fast it all goes! Geez! I am so happy for her though and all the new friends she gets to meet!

Our little Getaway

On Sunday, we decided to getaway to the mountains, we had such a fun time! Even though it was rainy we decided to take the chance anyways to go to woods Canyon Lake, how fun it was! The kid's got to feed the squirrels and play in the rocks and trees, play with bugs(Mason). We even got to see the nice scenery from the rim!
Lizzy accidentally fell in the water though, she had us giggling for a second, but she took it well. We love having Lizzy around!

It's a Boy!

Yes, yes! Yesterday we found out that we are having an adorable baby boy. This is so exciting! My due date hasn't changed much I am due the 13th of January, we are so excited!

4th of July

One of the things our family always looks forward to is the 4th of July. I have to admit in earlier times my kids really hated the fireworks, but like me they have really grown to love them. We went to Stapley pool on the 4th. Lizzy was a little scared to go on the diving boards, but once you do something, it becomes a lot of fun, so much that she wanted to jump off the high dive. The lifeguard told her that she couldn't do it, because she wasn't 8 years old. Later I talked to shelly and she told me I should've lied. Funny! To be honest, I don't know if she wouldv'e done it once at the top, it is pretty high.
In the evening we went to the fireworks at Tempe Town Lake. So much fun! I would go again in a heartbeat, and the commute wasn't that bad, ya the kids were definately worn out since it ended late, but it was still Great!

Little Bella

Devi n and I got a wonderful oppertunity to babysit our niece Bella. I have been having it easy with my 2 kids that I didn't think having 3 would be so much work! By the time B and Cole came to pick her up, I was exhausted!! Like any new addition I am very, sure that I will get used to baby 3.

Swimming Lessons

We also did swim lessons this summer again. It was so much fun! Mason was stubborn his first 3 days, because so far during the Summer, he was used to swimming when he wanted to, but since we had a late session (end of June to the middle of July) he didn't like being told what to do, but after those days he did what the teacher asked, for the most part he was just scared of the deepend and jumping off the diving board. Both of them are improving. Lizzy tried doing backstroke by herself and you know what she really didn't do that bad of a job.

Harkins Kid Movies

Then from there we did the Harkins movie thing this Summer which was so fun for the kids, teaching them movie theatre etiquette, which we had our experiences with. Once, Lizzy kicked the chair in front of her without me realizing till the lady in front told her to stop kicking her. I really felt bad for the lady, she really seemed miffed. I felt so bad, but that's how they learn.

Father's Day

I know I have been very, very bad about blogging over the summer, what can I say the procrastination has been building! This summer has been a very eventful one for our family. These are the things that have been going on.

First we have had our brother in law Clint that has been staying with us for a couple of months, we have also had events like Father's day take place which is always so much fun for our kids.
